I just competed in NPC Junior Nationals on June 12-13. I came in with a much bigger and leaner package than years past. Moving into the off season I will be working on my raw strength and putting on size in my upper body. Competition plans are still to be determined. I will continue to work with Amit Sapir on my off-season dieting, gradually increasing food and working to put on some good muscle. Last Wednesday's training, getting back into the groove again. Less body part split moving more toward some strength work although taking it slow so as not to kill my joints. Cable Flyes 4x12 Bench Press 5x8 @ 135 Dips 4x10 (with added 20#) Incline DB Ext 3x15 DB Floor Press 3x near fail (12-15 reps @ 35-40#) Was gonna go heavier but triceps were smoked by this point Rope pushdowns 4x15, with last set drop set DIET: Going to really use the rebound diet to my advantage and get stronger in the process. Gradual approach for sure, but when done right, it will come back fast.
Post-show training: Bench and triceps
